Crazy day

Ahhhh another post on the blog. I had an interview today for the West St. Paul Public Schools. The position is for a 4th grade long-term sub position. It would last from October through November. I think it went well and the atmosphere was very friendly. I could definitely see myself teaching there. I usually get nervous before an interview but today I wasn't nervous at all (which is good?) I would be pretty excited to get the position because it would put me one step closer to a full time position. I did joke and tell them I could be the next Will Schuester (from GLEE) because their school is an arts and health magnet school. They laughed and enjoyed my comment. They said they will let me know by next week. It is scary, but I love teaching. It is a great challenge that is very rewarding.

This weekend is Revolution's Single Track Escape mtn bike race. I am going to be racing it too; on Jared's single speed. It is a nice bike especially considering that when I go slow I can blame it on not having any harder gears to shift to. I am going with a lot of friends, so it will be a great time. I will race and cheer. If Mason wins the race I will buy him some Chipotle, or McDonald's...

My big race this fall is going to be the Wild Duluth 50k. I need to kick my running self into gear. I have been slacking lately and running 30-40 miles a week only. Over the next few weeks I plan on really hitting the running hard by doing some long runs and some real long runs on some trails. There are some good running trails by Gear West, but I think that Hyland has to have some of my favorite trail running (its mostly on the ski trails though). Ideally I would love to get up to Duluth and put in a long run on the hiking trail because that trail is rough, fun, and very tough. It will harden me up in no time! Hahaha.

Well I think that is all for now. I will post again very soon. Right now I am dog sitting Theo. Theo is a crazy, but a very nice dog.
